Kotlin Variable
Kotlin Data Type Kotlin extension function provides a facility to "add" methods to class without inheriting a class or
Kotlin Type Conversion using any type of design pattern. The created extension functions are used as a regular function inside
Kotlin Operator that class.
Kotlin Input/Output

In general, we call all methods from outside the class which are already defined inside the class.In below

Let's see the real example of extension function. In this example, we are swapping the elements of
Ranges
Integer type range
MutableList<> using swap() method. However, MutableList<>class does not provide the swap() method
Kotlin Working Ranges internally which swap the elements of it. For doing this we create an extension function for
Kotlin Utility Function MutableList<> with swap() function.
Java Interoperability
The list object call the extension function (MutableList<Int>.swap(index1: Int, index2:

Companion Object Extensions

A companion object is an object which is declared inside a class and marked with the companion
keyword. Companion object is used to call the member function of class directly using the class name
(like static in java).

A class which contains companion object can also be defined as extension function and property for the
companion object.

Example of companion object

In this example, we call a create() function declared inside companion object using class name (MyClass)
as qualifier.

class MyClass {  
    companion object {  
        fun create():String{  
            return "calls create method of companion object"  
        }  
    }  
}  
fun main(args: Array<String>){  
val instance = MyClass.create()  
}

Companion object extensions example

Let's see an example of companion object extensions. The companion object extension is also being
called using the class name as the qualifier.

class MyClass {  
    companion object {  
        fun create(): String {  
            return "calling create method of companion object"  
        }  
    }  
}  
fun MyClass.Companion.helloWorld() {  
println("executing extension of companion object")  
}  
fun main(args: Array<String>) {  
MyClass.helloWorld() //extension function declared upon the companion object  
}  

Output:

executing extension of companion object
